After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Hawks 108-100. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
