After Action Report

In Utah, the Wizards squeaked past the Jazz 106-103. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

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