After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards downed the Pistons 122-103. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
