After Action Report

The Wizards rolled past the Lakers 126-101. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
