After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 130-106. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
