After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Lakers 102-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
