After Action Report

The Wizards took care of the Pistons 122-104. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
