After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Wizards 153-110. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
