Why Ish Smith purposefully never dunks in games - NBCSports.com

The Wizards' win over the Pistons featured plenty of memorable moments. 

You had ankle breakers, missed dunks, flagrant fouls and lost teeth all in one afternoon. If you're a Wizards fan, you were feeling good through most of it because your team got the win and were on the right side of said ankle breakers, missed dunks and lost teeth. 

Pistons fans, on the other hand, were not feeling too great, so we're here to compile the best of their reactions to their team falling to the Wizards on Martin Luther King Day. 

Beal crosses Drummond out of his shoes 

Bradley Beal had the nastiest crossover of the year for the Wizards causing Andre Drummond to stumble across the floor before hitting a stepback three at the end of the shot clock.

Some Pistons fans were disgusted with their big man for getting embarrassed on the court like that, while some were naturally in denial. 

"Another reason to trade Drummond," wrote @ShaySharpeSZN.

"He pushed him off then Drummond tripped over his shoe lol," said @pistonswave.

"Looks like a push off to me," per @mcbaj89.

Markieff Morris vs. Davis Bertans

Markieff Morris and Davis Bertans can't seem to get along.

This is the second time they've gotten into it this season, and this time Morris was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul for hitting Bertans across the face. He was immediately ejected leading to a storm of tweets criticizing how soft the NBA has grown. 

"Garbage officiating. Clearly a flagrant. But not a 2. This league is a joke," said @Alexdf71.

"That should only be a flagrant 1, the NBA is too strict nowadays I understand safety but that really wasn't that bad," wrote @AGK9271.

"Lmaoooooooooo weakest flagrant 2 in NBA history," said @RyanLaprade

Drummond loses a tooth

Drummond had a rough day on Monday. He got crossed up, missed a wide-open dunk and lost a tooth in the same game. 

As time wound down in the fourth quarter, Thomas Bryant hit Drummond in the mouth with his elbow and knocked one of his teeth right out. Following Morris' ejection earlier in the game, Detroit fans were upset Bryant didn't get called for a foul. Then, of course, there was the hockey fan that chimed in to give his two cents on how much tougher hockey players are. 

"No foul, bet if Drummond did it he'd be ejected," wrote @VisiblePepper. 

"Drummond just got hit in the face, lost a tooth, and didn't get a foul call. Markieff accidentally hits a guy in the face contesting a shot, Flagrant 2," said @ImMartinHi

"Andre Drummond ($28m per year) gets tooth knocked out: kicks a chair, leaves the game, whines about it on Twitter. Paul Statsny ($6.5 m per year) gets multiple teeth knocked out: Picks up his teeth and returns to the bench for the next shift. Toughen up, please," wrote @LabDetroit.

The Wizards will hit the road and visit the Heat in Miami on Wednesday for the first leg of a back-to-back. Let's see if they can repeat their surprising win from a few weeks ago and make Heat fans mad once again.
