After Action Report
The Wizards shocked the Mavericks 115-110. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
