After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Suns 111-97. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
