After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Pacers 101-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
