After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Hawks 95-86. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
