After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Lakers 119-115. Wizards' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
