After Action Report

In Washington, the Rockets squeaked past the Wizards 107-103. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
