After Action Report
In Dallas, the Wizards squeaked past the Mavericks 130-127. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
