After Action Report

The Wizards outlasted the Hornets 113-102. Wizards torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hornets · 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
