After Action Report

The Wizards edged the Warriors 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
