After Action Report
The 76ers edged the Pistons 102-95. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
