After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Magic 99-77. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
