After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Pistons 135-127. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers steamroller is in full effect right now; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
