Wizards Upset Pistons with Late-Game Heroics

The Washington Wizards achieved a narrow victory over the Detroit Pistons, 129-125, on March 14, marking a significant turnaround after a heavy loss to the Pistons two days prior. Alex Sarr led the Wizards with 19 points, including a decisive dunk in the final seconds, while Justin Champagnie and Jordan Poole contributed 17 points each, overcoming a strong performance by Detroit's Cade Cunningham, who scored 38 points. Bub Carrington's free throws helped seal the win for the Wizards, who managed to hit 20 three-pointers despite being out-rebounded by the Pistons. This victory disrupted Detroit's playoff momentum, following their prior decisive 123-103 win against the Wizards on March 11, which saw Cunningham and Jalen Duren dominate. The Pistons, currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, faced challenges as they aim for a playoff spot. This latest encounter highlights the unpredictable nature of the NBA season as teams vie for playoff positioning.
