After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 117-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pistons · 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.
