After Action Report
The Wizards edged the Mavericks 102-96. Every possession went the Wizards way. The Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
