After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Pistons 96-93. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
