What tipped it
- 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.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
