After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Heat 99-92. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
