After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Spurs 126-125. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
