After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Nets 117-87. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
