After Action Report
The Wizards downed the Hawks 120-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Hawks' positional balance gave them a synergy edge. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
