After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards pulled away from the Raptors 97-83. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
