After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 112-75. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

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