After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Cavaliers 127-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
