After Action Report
The Wizards shocked the Hawks 108-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
