After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Suns 142-83. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
