After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Cavaliers 116-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
