After Action Report

In Detroit, the 76ers snuck past the Pistons 117-116. 76ers' offense had its way with the Pistons. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
