After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Lakers 123-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
