After Action Report

In a track meet, the Wizards survived the Bulls 120-118. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
