After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers shocked the Pistons 111-110 in overtime. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
