Los Angeles Lakers 110-128 Washington Wizards: 3 Talking Points as Wizards rout LeBron James and Co.

#3 3-point shooting a difference maker

Jeff Green made 4 3-pointers from 6 attempts while LeBron James went 0 for 2 from downtown

We get it, the Lakers are not a good shooting team. They haven't got the best of scorers on their roster. But to shoot so poorly in such an important contest is a sign of bad things for the young Lakers.

It shows their lack of focus and consistency. The Lakers shot 11-36 from the 3-point line meaning a conversion rate of less than 30% from downtown.

On the other hand, Washington showed a lot of depth, by shooting 13-31 from the 3-point line at a conversion rate of 42%. This is hopefully a sign of positive things to come for the Wizards as they had lost their previous 4 encounters, two of which came at the hands of bottom feeder teams in Cleveland and Brooklyn.

They were supposed to finish in the playoffs this year and possibly even go into another round of the playoffs, so hopefully, they are just scratching the surface and we can expect performances like these from the Wizards now.
