After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Pacers 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
