After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Wizards 96-89. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
