After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons stunned the Wizards 136-120. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
