After Action Report

The 76ers held off the Pistons 108-102. 76ers torched the Pistons on the offensive end. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
