After Action Report

The Pistons held off the 76ers 106-97. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
