After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons blew the doors off the Wizards 103-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
