After Action Report
The Wizards edged the Nets 88-80. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
