After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Rockets 106-104. Wizards' offense had its way with the Rockets. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
