After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Wizards 104-98. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
