After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Pistons 136-109. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pistons. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
