Playing at home with an all-time NBA record 16-0 start on the line, the Warriors didn't even have to break a sweat en route to a -point shellacking. The defending Champions won again, 111-77.
This wasn't a matter of effort or desire. Tuesday night's game put Lakers head coach Byron Scott's flaws on full display. His young team could be excused for the same slow rotations and inattentive defense that every Warriors opponent is guilty of. But offensively, they were hopeless. A flurry of Kobe Bryant heat checks with nary an early swish to justify all that chucking (he finished a career-worst 1-of-14).
