After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Timberwolves 118-113. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
