After Action Report
The Wizards knocked off the Trail Blazers 114-107. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
