After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Wizards blew the doors off the Hornets 115-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
