After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Pistons 110-109. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pistons. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
