After Action Report

The Nets downed the Wizards 126-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
