After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets buried the Wizards 134-109. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
