After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Nets 111-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
