After Action Report
In Detroit, the Wizards edged the Pistons 105-99. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
