After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Wizards snuck past the Lakers 110-108. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
