After Action Report

In a track meet, the Wizards buried the Mavericks 142-108. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
