After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Jazz 107-86. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
