After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Wizards 114-106. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
