After Action Report

The Wizards ran roughshod over the Nuggets 141-119. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
