After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Pistons 101-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
