After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards survived the Heat 112-109. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
