After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Pacers 112-106. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
