After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Warriors 156-112. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
