After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Nets 106-97. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
