After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Lakers 114-87. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
