After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Wizards 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
