After Action Report

In Toronto, the Wizards pulled away from the Raptors 116-103. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
