After Action Report
The 76ers handled the Pistons 101-84. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
