After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Pistons 132-128. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
