After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Raptors 96-70. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
