After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Pistons 124-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
