After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Lakers 111-109. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
