After Action Report

The Pistons edged the Wizards 109-102. Pistons' offense had its way with the Wizards. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
