After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Heat 101-95. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
