After Action Report

The Bulls held off the Wizards 120-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bulls bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
