After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards downed the 76ers 112-101. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
