After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Kings 98-86. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
