After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Trail Blazers 115-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
