The Wizards held off the Spurs 107-99. Wizards torched the Spurs on the offensive end. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
