After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards held off the Lakers 121-114. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
