After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Nets 98-76. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
