After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards pulled away from the 76ers 120-109. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
