After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Hawks 101-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
