After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Pistons held off the 76ers 115-109. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
