Lakers Stunned by Wall, Wizards
Kyle Kuzma attempts a hook shot against the Washington Wizards on Dec. 16, 2018.After pounding Charlotte by 28 the night before, the Lakers ended up on the opposite end of the scoreboard in the nation’s capital.
The Lakers never found a rhythm — unlike John Wall, who dropped 40 points, 14 assists, three steals and two blocks for the home team — as Washington rolled to a 128-110 victory.
Wall sliced up the Lakers (18-12) in the pick-and-roll, while adding in some spectacular plays in transition. He hit 16 shots on 27 attempts for the fifth 40-point game of his career.
