LeBron James, finishing with 14 assists, praised the team's remarkable offensive flow, emphasizing the exceptional contributions from all five players. The Lakers scored a staggering 87 points in the first half, concluding with 139 in regulation, with the starting five collectively amassing 119 points and shooting an impressive 57.7% from the field.
