After Action Report
The 76ers handled the Pistons 96-83. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
