After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Nets 119-87. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. 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
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
