After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards edged the Hornets 116-108. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
