After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Wizards 114-85. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
