After Action Report

In a track meet, the Wizards outlasted the 76ers 111-105. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
