After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Pistons 128-125 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
