After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Kings 124-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · 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.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
