After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Cavaliers 118-116. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
