After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Wizards 108-82. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
