After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 116-112. Wizards torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
