After Action Report
The 76ers edged the Pistons 128-121. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The 76ers steamroller is in full effect right now; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
