After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Wizards 129-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
