After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Magic 116-114. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell; the Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
