After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Wizards 104-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
