After Action Report
The Wizards buried the Magic 131-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
