After Action Report

The Wizards took care of the Pistons 132-116. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
