After Action Report

In Washington, the Magic handled the Wizards 128-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

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.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
