After Action Report
The Wizards pulled away from the Pistons 121-111. The breakneck pace played right into Wizards' hands. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- 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.
