After Action Report
The Wizards buried the Nets 112-85. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
