After Action Report
In Washington, the Nets blew the doors off the Wizards 125-99. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
