After Action Report

The Pistons snuck past the Wizards 107-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
