After Action Report
The Wizards downed the Hawks 129-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards are in a full-on tailspin; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
