After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Lakers 118-115. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
