After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards demolished the Jazz 99-76. Wizards' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
