After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Bulls 101-97. Wizards' positional fit overwhelmed the Bulls rotation. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bulls · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
