After Action Report
The Wizards buried the Nets 128-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
