After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers downed the Pistons 108-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
