After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Wizards 112-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
