After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards held off the Warriors 104-95. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
