After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Pistons 121-89. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
