After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pistons 104-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
