After Action Report
The Wizards held off the Pistons 117-109. The Wizards got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
