After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Pistons buried the 76ers 130-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
