After Action Report

The Wizards ran roughshod over the Kings 136-116. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

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.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
