After Action Report

The Wizards held off the Bulls 138-130. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bulls rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
