After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the 76ers 110-101. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
