After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Wizards 121-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
