After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards buried the Hawks 120-87. Wizards' offense had its way with the Hawks. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
