After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Pistons 110-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
