After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 109-107. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
