After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Cavaliers 114-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
