After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards survived the Nets 116-115. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
