After Action Report
In Washington, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Wizards 103-75. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
