After Action Report
In Washington, the Lakers snuck past the Wizards 103-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
