After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Clippers 101-94. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
