After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Wizards 133-98. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
