The Wizards survived the Rockets 104-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
