After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards buried the Timberwolves 110-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
