After Action Report

The Wizards knocked off the Lakers 123-114. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it
