After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Spurs 105-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
