After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Grizzlies 130-124. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke; Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
