After Action Report
In Washington, the Nets snuck past the Wizards 94-91. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
