After Action Report

The Wizards pulled away from the Mavericks 118-104. Wizards' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
