After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Pistons 109-105. 76ers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
