After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Lakers 128-101. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
