After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Pistons 108-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
