After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Pistons 105-97. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
