After Action Report

In Washington, the Lakers squeaked past the Wizards 95-93. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
