After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers rolled past the Grizzlies 137-114. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
