After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the 76ers 121-117. Pistons torched the 76ers on the offensive end. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
