After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Lakers 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
