After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards pulled away from the Nuggets 116-98. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
