Tensions flare in Pistons-Wizards showdown: two flagrant fouls, heated exchanges

The Detroit Pistons’ 123-103 win over the Washington Wizards was not just a convincing victory—it was a physical and chippy battle that saw multiple heated moments.

The game’s most intense sequences came in the fourth quarter, when Richaun Holmes was ejected after elbowing Ausar Thompson in the face while securing a rebound. Shortly after, Marcus Smart received a flagrant-1 foul for elbowing Tim Hardaway Jr.

Tensions had already boiled over in the first quarter, with Kyshawn George and Cade Cunningham exchanging shoves before Khris Middleton and Jordan Poole got involved, further escalating the confrontation.

Despite the scuffles, Detroit controlled the game from start to finish, never trailing and holding a double-digit lead throughout the second half. Cade Cunningham led the way with 27 points and 10 assists, while Smart paced Washington with 16 points.

The two teams will meet again Thursday night in Detroit, with emotions likely to run high once more.
