After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Pistons 128-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
