After Action Report

In Portland, the Wizards blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 121-99. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
