After Action Report

The Pistons survived the Wizards 110-109. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
