After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Raptors 97-80. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
