After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards outlasted the Rockets 109-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
