The Los Angeles Lakers secured a comfortable victory on Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. They won all four quarters and held Washington to 11 points in the final frame, while Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Austin Reaves and Dorian Finney-Smith led the way on the scoreboard.
It was a quality showing for head coach JJ Redick and company, even though it came against the team with the worst record in basketball. But the Lakers have shown an ability to take their foot off the gas pedal and lose to teams they shouldn’t lose to.
That’s what makes a win like Tuesday something the team feels they can build off of.
