After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Pistons 103-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
