After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Raptors 135-79. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
