After Action Report

The Wizards demolished the Kings 134-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
