What happened: AJ Dybantsa forced a second overtime in the Wizards-Pistons game. Kyshawn George had given Washington the lead with 31.5 seconds left in regulation, and Detroit sent the game to overtime.
Why it matters: The tie-breaking moment came from the No. 1 overall pick, who was bleeding after a collision with Cade Cunningham earlier this week and stayed in that game. Washington entered this stretch having lost three in a row.
By the numbers: Dybantsa is averaging 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 2026-27 through 9 games.
What to watch: The finish of the second overtime decides whether Washington ends its skid.
