After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 126-101. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
