After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers blew the doors off the Pistons 116-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
