After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Nets 126-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · 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.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
