After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Spurs 95-89. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
