After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Wizards 119-87. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
