After Action Report
The Wizards buried the Nets 131-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
