After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Pistons 98-83. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
