After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Pistons outlasted the 76ers 114-108. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
