After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the Wizards 125-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
