After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Trail Blazers 109-100. Wizards torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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

- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
