After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Rockets 108-86. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
