After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers took care of the Clippers 126-112. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
