This helped the Wizards still finish the first half with a 56-52 lead after the Pistons made an inevitable run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Still, the Wizards were able to expand on their lead in the third quarter, expanding it to as many as 19 points and headed into to the fourth quarter with a double digit lead. Ultimately, the Wizards persevered and held onto their lead to shock the current leaders in the NBA\u2019s Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In most basketball games, one or two players often stand out among the rest. But this time, no one was a true outlier. Will Riley led Washington with 20 points off the bench, and Sharife Cooper added 18 more. For the Pistons, Cade Cunningham led with 30 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Wizards\u2019 next game is on Saturday when they face off against the Brooklyn Nets.
