After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Wizards 111-103. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
