After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Lakers 100-98. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers 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.
