[Gennosuke]

Poor first half for the Sixers, who got clobbered in the 1st quarter but managed to get the deficit down to 8 by halftime.

Slow start by Embiid and Melton is hurting them again with his lousy shooting.

[Gennosuke]

Bench got outscored 17 - 3 in the 1st half.

[Gennosuke]

Philly starts the 2nd half playing rock solid defense and has a chance to take the lead, but Melton bricks another 3 attempt and Detroit gets a transition bucket off it.

[BelmontShore]

Very Processy Sixers vibe to these young Pistons, scrappy & athletic helps build that 1st half lead. 76ers have to keep up the defense and not slack off. Pistons keep executing late in the clock.

[Gennosuke]

Melton finally drains a triple to give the Sixers a 4pt lead.

[Gennosuke]

That finger roll from Maxey is a thing of beauty.

[Gennosuke]

Sixers blow out to a 13pt 4th quarter lead. Pistons only have 23pts in the 2nd half so far.

[BelmontShore]

See? Just like a Process Sixers 2nd half vs good teams.

Nice, consistent pressure by the 76ers to build this lead.

[Gennosuke]

Good timeout by Nurse as the Pistons cut the Sixers lead from 15 to 11.
