After Action Report
In a track meet, the Wizards took care of the Pistons 115-101. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Wizards 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.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
