After Action Report
The 76ers took care of the Pistons 108-96. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
