After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Nets 117-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Nets are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
