After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Wizards 98-94. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
