After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Wizards 94-89. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
