After Action Report

In Washington, the Kings held off the Wizards 98-92. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
