After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Mavericks 112-110. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
