After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Lakers 114-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
