However, one former Lakers champion isn't impressed with the win. During an episode of FanDuel TV's Run it Back show, Danny Green explained that he wants to see the Lakers beat up on superior teams like the New York Knicks or LA Clippers.

While it was a mismatch on paper, JJ Reddick still implored his Lakers to play with a chip on their shoulder against the Wizards.

All too often both this season and last season, the Los Angeles Lakers have come out against inferior teams with what has seemed like a casual attitude and played down to the level of their opposition.
