After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards survived the Hornets 113-112. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
