After Action Report
In Washington, the Pistons blew the doors off the Wizards 154-96. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
