After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards outlasted the Hawks 120-101. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
