After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Wizards 134-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
