After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Suns 130-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
