After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Wizards 117-100. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
