After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers edged the Nets 106-97. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nets; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
