After Action Report

The Wizards rolled past the Nets 112-87. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. 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.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
