After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Wizards held off the Lakers 117-111. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Wizards 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.
