After Action Report
The Wizards shocked the Rockets 112-111. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
