The Wizards took care of the Rockets 109-97. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
