After Action Report

The Wizards survived the Cavaliers 115-114. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
