After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the 76ers 138-87. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
