After Action Report

The Wizards pulled away from the Trail Blazers 127-110. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
