After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Pistons 140-100. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
