After Action Report
In Washington, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Wizards 104-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
