After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Hawks 125-123. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · 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.
