After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Heat 122-86. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
