After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons pulled away from the Wizards 115-97. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
