The Lakers took care of the Wizards 112-97. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
