After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards outlasted the Pistons 108-100. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
