After Action Report
The Wizards upended the Rockets 135-129. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
