After Action Report
The Wizards snuck past the Pistons 103-98. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Wizards carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
