After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Jazz 97-94. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
