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.
