After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Nets 131-99. Wizards' offense had its way with the Nets. 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. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
