After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers took care of the Pistons 120-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
