After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Timberwolves 128-123. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
