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.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
