After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Wizards 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons sent shots into the fifth row all night; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
