After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 122-102. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
