After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Wizards 133-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
