After Action Report

In Denver, the Wizards survived the Nuggets 114-109. Wizards torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
