After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the 76ers 111-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
