After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Nets 144-142 in overtime. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
