After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Hawks 104-97. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
