After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Wizards 127-116. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it

- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
