After Action Report
The Wizards fended off the Hawks 103-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
