After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Heat 107-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
