After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Pistons 109-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell; 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
