After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Cavaliers 132-128. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. 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.
