After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Suns 109-87. Wizards torched the Suns on the offensive end. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
