After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers stunned the Clippers 123-122. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
