After Action Report

In Washington, the Kings knocked off the Wizards 119-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
