After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the 76ers 99-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
