After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Lakers 101-85. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
