After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards held off the Pistons 106-98. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
