After Action Report

In Toronto, the Wizards survived the Raptors 101-96. Every possession went the Wizards way. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
