After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Pistons 106-103. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. Fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in; 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
