After Action Report

The Wizards squeaked past the Kings 101-99. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
