After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Wizards 104-97. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
