After Action Report

The Wizards buried the 76ers 115-89. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
