After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Wizards 99-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
