After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Trail Blazers 117-113. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
