After Action Report

The Wizards blew the doors off the Grizzlies 126-97. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
