Los Angeles Lakers were held off by Washington Wizards who are on their longest ever winning streak in three years and extend it to five straight wins by defeating Los Angeles Lakers 127-124 on Monday in NBA. Bradley Beal ended the night with 33 points while Russell Westbrook was at 32 by Overtime.
Wizards make a double-digit comeback for the win they were trailing behind by 17 points in second half and LeBron James missed free throws late in the game and Wizards took advantage of that at Staples Center to claim their first win over Lakers after March 2017. LeBron was 31 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds for the Lakers. Wizards would now face Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers would face Utah Jazz a day after that.
