After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Hawks 96-94. Wizards torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
