After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Wizards 119-88. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
