After Action Report

The Lakers blew the doors off the Nets 131-100. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
