After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Pacers 135-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
