After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Nets 123-120 in overtime. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
