After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Bulls 105-98. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
