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.
