After Action Report

The Lakers blew the doors off the Wizards 125-103. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
