After Action Report
The Lakers knocked off the Warriors 105-98. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
