After Action Report
The 76ers downed the Pistons 130-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
