After Action Report
The Wizards downed the Hornets 106-91. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
