After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Suns 106-98. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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.
