After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers upended the Pistons 116-103. Every possession went the 76ers way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
