After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Lakers 124-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
