After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Pistons 89-84. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
