After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Trail Blazers 105-103. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
