After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Grizzlies 116-114. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
