After Action Report

The Wizards squeaked past the Magic 113-112. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
