After Action Report

The Wizards survived the Bulls 117-114. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bulls · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bulls · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
