After Action Report

The Wizards fended off the Suns 104-98. Every possession went the Wizards way. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
