After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Trail Blazers 96-91. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
