After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Clippers 114-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
