After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the 76ers 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
