After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Pistons 118-110. 76ers torched the Pistons on the offensive end. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
