After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Suns 118-95. Wizards torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
