The Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards had their rematch tonight. Unlike the first game, which the Lakers won in overtime, things didn’t go well for Los Angeles tonight.
Washington blew out the Lakers, winning 111-95. Outside of a lopsided second quarter, this game was actually close once again. If you take out the second quarter, the Wizards only outscored the Lakers by six points. Unfortunately, the second quarter counts and it resulted in a one-sided night on the scoreboard.
The defense was the issue tonight for the Lakers. Washington had their way offensively, as they shot 51.
