After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Lakers 134-98. Wizards' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
