After Action Report

The Wizards demolished the Lakers 126-100. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
