After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Magic 116-93. Wizards torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
