After Action Report

The Warriors rolled past the Lakers 118-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
