After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
