After Action Report

The Lakers knocked off the Wizards 123-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
