After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Pacers 102-97. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
