Turns out, LeBron James is great, and when he’s at his best, he’ll lay waste to a nearly inert Washington Wizards defense. In a game between two of the weaker teams in the NBA, that was enough for the Los Angeles Lakers to coast to a comfortable 122-109 win.
On offense, the Wizards were okay. Their shooting was meh, but they pounded the offensive glass to collect 14 of their misses (Kristaps Porzingis got 6 offensive boards), and they were +10 at the free throw line.
Defensively, they were a wreck. The Lakers had an effective field goal percentage of 60.
