After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Mavericks 123-117. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
