After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards survived the Pistons 127-122. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Wizards' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
