Los Angeles Lakers vs. Washington Wizards

A one o'clock tip on a Sunday is a brunch with a basketball game attached, and it is the single most underrated arrangement in sport. You eat somewhere downtown at eleven, you are in your seat by half twelve, and you are back out into daylight before four with the entire rest of the day still unspent. Nothing about an evening game gives you that. Afternoon crowds skew younger and noticeably louder, mostly because nobody has spent five hours in a bar beforehand. Washington is not the reason to come and everybody knows it - the reason is the hour, and the hour is excellent. Make a day of it rather than a night of it, and see how much more of the weekend survives the experience. The other quiet advantage is the drive. A one o'clock tip has you leaving the structure at half past three, which is the single easiest hour of the week to get out of downtown.
