After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Wizards 123-122. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
