After Action Report

The Wizards edged the 76ers 106-99. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
