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.
