After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Pistons 122-118. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
