After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Wizards 134-128. Pistons torched the Wizards on the offensive end. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
