After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Bulls 111-103. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bulls' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
