After Action Report

The Wizards rolled past the SuperSonics 127-96. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
