3 observations: Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid lead Sixers past Pistons

Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid do what stars do and they led the Philadelphia 76ers past the Detroit Pistons on the road.

The Philadelphia 76ers entered the Motor City on Saturday coming off two wins over the rival Boston Celtics and were now looking to continue their winning ways against the lowly Detroit Pistons.

It was a bit of a struggle early as they trailed by as many as 11 in the first half, maybe some tired legs from the night before, but they were able to recover and pull out a 114-110 win over the Pistons for their third consecutive win.

Joel Embiid led the way with 33 points and 14 rebounds, Ben Simmons had 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, Tobias Harris had 17, and Seth Curry added 14 in his second game back in the lineup.
