After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Rockets 131-100. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
