After Action Report
The 76ers pulled away from the Pistons 96-85. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
