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.
