After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Wizards 92-74. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
