After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards demolished the Jazz 135-107. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
