After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Wizards 114-73. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
