After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Bobcats 126-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
