After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Lakers 136-133 in overtime. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
