After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Wizards 123-85. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
