After Action Report

The Wizards edged the Warriors 119-113. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
