After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Wizards 99-95. Lakers' starting five clicked while the Wizards looked disjointed. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
