After Action Report

The Wizards fended off the Nuggets 125-117. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

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