After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Pistons 107-85. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pistons. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
