After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Wizards 127-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
