After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers handled the Wizards 122-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
