After Action Report
The Wizards took care of the Nets 89-74. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · 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.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
