After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Pistons 105-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
