After Action Report
In Portland, the Wizards demolished the Trail Blazers 143-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
