After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Pistons 104-95. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
