After Action Report

The Wizards buried the Spurs 125-96. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
