After Action Report

The Wizards fended off the Rockets 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
