After Action Report

The Nets survived the Wizards 119-118. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
