After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Hornets 138-112. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
