After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Rockets 101-94. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. 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

  • Rockets · 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.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
