After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Pistons 131-97. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the 76ers lately; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
