After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Lakers 120-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
