After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards pulled away from the Pistons 93-81. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
