After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Wizards blew the doors off the Lakers 134-108. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them.
