In a commanding performance, the Los Angeles Lakers triumphed over the Washington Wizards, defeating them 134-96. Despite fatigue from playing their third game in four nights, LeBron James led the charge with 24 points and 11 assists in just 27 minutes. The Lakers, without Anthony Davis due to a strained abdominal muscle, capitalized on the Wizards' struggles, who have now lost 16 consecutive games. The Lakers' collective effort was evident, with Rui Hachimura scoring 22 points and Shake Milton contributing 21. They achieved their highest first-half score of the season with 78 points. Coach JJ Redick expressed optimism regarding Davis's injury, anticipating his return next week.
