After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Pistons 110-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
