After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards survived the Pistons 104-100. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
