After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Kings 117-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
