After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards survived the Hawks 120-116. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
