After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards squeaked past the Nets 119-116. Wizards torched the Nets on the offensive end. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · 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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
