After Action Report

The Wizards handled the Bulls 98-88. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
