After Action Report

The Pistons fended off the 76ers 100-92. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
