After Action Report

The Wizards handled the Lakers 114-96. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
