After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Timberwolves 129-120. Wizards' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 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.
