After Action Report

The Wizards buried the Kings 128-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
