After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards buried the Hornets 128-107. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
