After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Hawks 103-100. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
