After Action Report
The Pistons handled the 76ers 122-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
