After Action Report

The Lakers outlasted the Wizards 113-97. Lakers' offense had its way with the Wizards. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
