After Action Report

In Detroit, the 76ers blew the doors off the Pistons 112-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
