After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Wizards 123-105. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
