After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons rolled past the Wizards 119-99. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
