After Action Report
The Wizards squeaked past the Pistons 100-97. Every possession went the Wizards way. Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Wizards per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
