After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Wizards 118-116. Lakers' offense had its way with the Wizards. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
