After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Raptors 103-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
