After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Lakers 105-102. Wizards torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
