After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the 76ers 139-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
