After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Pistons 100-91. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. 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.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
