After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Hornets 112-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
