After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Wizards 93-80. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
