After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Pistons 122-102. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
