After Action Report
The 76ers outlasted the Pistons 105-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
