After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards rolled past the Kings 114-88. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
