After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pacers 120-119. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
