After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards outlasted the SuperSonics 130-111. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
