After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Wizards 98-93. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
