After Action Report

In a track meet, the Pistons outlasted the 76ers 118-107. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
