After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Wizards 127-118. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
