After Action Report
The Wizards stunned the Trail Blazers 126-103. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
