After Action Report

The Wizards survived the Pistons 116-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
