After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Wizards 106-93. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
