After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Pistons 111-110. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
