After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Wizards edged the Spurs 112-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
