After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers pulled away from the Wizards 109-94. Lakers torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
