After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Clippers 94-72. Wizards' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.

- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
