After Action Report

In Chicago, the Wizards survived the Bulls 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
