After Action Report

In Portland, the Wizards survived the Trail Blazers 120-117. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
