After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards handled the Raptors 97-84. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
