After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Suns 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
