After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards outlasted the Cavaliers 116-106. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
