After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Heat 120-118. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
