After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Suns 112-88. Wizards torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
