After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons outlasted the Wizards 122-116. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
