After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Lakers 107-106. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
