After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers pulled away from the Pistons 103-93. The 76ers' lockdown unit choked off Pistons' offense. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
