After Action Report

In Detroit, the Wizards pulled away from the Pistons 122-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
