After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Bucks 105-99. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Bucks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bucks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
