After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Wizards 124-105. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
