After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards survived the 76ers 103-98. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
