After Action Report
The 76ers blew the doors off the Pistons 138-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
