After Action Report

The Wizards handled the Heat 137-120. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
