After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Heat 117-110. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards steamroller is in full effect right now. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
