After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Raptors 118-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
