After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Wizards fended off the Hawks 109-103. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
