After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Timberwolves 111-105. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
