After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Hawks 109-105. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
