After Action Report
In Washington, the Pistons rolled past the Wizards 120-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
