Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
