After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards fended off the Mavericks 114-105. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
