After Action Report

The Wizards downed the Timberwolves 109-99. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
