After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Bulls 98-88. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Bulls' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
