After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Wizards 122-108. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
