DETROIT–The Philadelphia 76ers were short-handed on Sunday afternoon as they invaded the Little Caesars Arena to take on the Detroit Pistons, but it wouldn’t matter against a struggling Pistons team.
Despite not missing Joel Embiid and PJ Tucker, the Sixers were able to pick up a rather easy ???-??? win. Philadelphia built a 17-point lead in the first half and the Pistons never really threatened in the second half as the Sixers were able to bounce back from a loss at home. James Harden finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in an excellent day for him on the floor.
Montrezl Harrell drew the start and had 20 points and six rebounds, Tyrese Maxey added 23 to lead Philadelphia, and Tobias Harris had 12 and five rebounds. Georges Niang had 14 and Paul Reed added 16 and 11 rebounds off the bench.
