After Action Report
The 76ers demolished the Pistons 130-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
