After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Wizards 120-88. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
