After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Pistons 100-94. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
