After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons outlasted the Wizards 121-110. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
