After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Trail Blazers 99-96. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
