After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons rolled past the Wizards 117-96. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
