After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Wizards 122-81. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
