After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Wizards 136-114. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
