After Action Report

The Wizards edged the Raptors 103-94. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
