After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Wizards 101-96. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
