The Detroit Pistons dominated the Washington Wizards 117–95 on March 19 at Capital One Arena, controlling the game through superior ball movement and rebounding. Jalen Duren led Detroit with 24 points, while Pistons teammate P. Reed added 17, as the visitors shot 45.4% from the field and distributed 32 assists against just 10 turnovers. Washington's T. Vukcevic paced the hosts with 21 points, and W. Riley contributed 15, but the Wizards' 43.9% shooting and 15 three-pointers made proved insufficient. Detroit's defensive prowess was evident in a 56–35 rebounding advantage and 11 steals, holding Washington to a 94.7 offensive rating while posting a 115.3 rating themselves. The Pistons' balanced fourth quarter (29 points) sealed the outcome well below the Vegas total of 231.5. Washington's 19 turnovers and 115.3 defensive rating underscored their struggles, while Detroit's depth and ball security reinforced their standing as a playoff contender.
