After Action Report

The Spurs rolled past the Wizards 107-71. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Spurs; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
