After Action Report
The Wizards edged the Pistons 102-93. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
