After Action Report
The 76ers held off the Pistons 100-92. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
