After Action Report

The Wizards survived the Pistons 109-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
