After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Magic 128-78. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
