After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Pistons 111-85. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
