After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers shocked the 76ers 141-129. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the 76ers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
