After Action Report

The Wizards squeaked past the Jazz 92-91. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
