After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Lakers 112-109. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
