76ers' Efforts Not Enough

The team had balanced contributions from its roster but struggled defensively against a determined Pistons squad.
Philadelphia's performance was highlighted by efficient shooting from both field goals (49 percent) and free throws (85 percent), indicating effective execution during play but ultimately falling short due to defensive lapses which allowed Detroit too many opportunities to score especially from second-chance points where Detroit capitalized significantly scoring twenty-six compared to Philadelphia’s ten.
