After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards ran roughshod over the Heat 129-104. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
