After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Wizards 106-77. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
