After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards rolled past the Rockets 120-95. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
