After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Suns 112-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
