After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
