After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards squeaked past the Pistons 116-113. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
