After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Pistons 136-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
