After Action Report

The Wizards ran roughshod over the Jazz 129-81. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
