After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards shocked the Lakers 114-113. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
