After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 126-123. Wizards torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
