After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Hornets 103-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
