After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Wizards 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
