After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards snuck past the Heat 109-106. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
