After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Heat 93-89. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
