After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Heat 132-104. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
