After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers stunned the Warriors 123-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
