After Action Report

The Pistons rolled past the 76ers 126-92. The 76ers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
