Lakers Chat: Lakers vs. Washington Wizards

The Lakers can’t possibly lose tonight to the Washington Wizards.

Then again, everyone thought the same thing about their game against the Detroit Pistons. Instead, the Lakers lost, 88-85 in overtime. Kobe Bryant’s two different masks couldn’t camouflage his eight-of-26 mark from the field.

So did the bench, the team’s transition defense and its late-game execution.
