After Action Report

The Warriors squeaked past the Lakers 106-102. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
