After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Rockets 117-109. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
