After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Nets 109-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
