After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Wizards 90-86. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
