After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Warriors 133-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
