After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Warriors 117-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
