After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Nets 114-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
