After Action Report

In a track meet, the Wizards snuck past the Nets 101-99. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
