After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers edged the Nets 106-99. Lakers torched the Nets on the offensive end. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
