The Detroit Pistons fall to the Philadelphia 76ers 114-110 Saturday night in Detroit.
Both teams were on a second game of a back-to-back, but it was a fast paced game, with both teams wanting to get out on the break. The Pistons were without Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose due to load management. Conversely, the 76ers — the number one seed in the Eastern Conference — were at full strength.
Detroit led by a bucket at the half, however Philadelphia took control in the third quarter but never pulled away. Joel Embiid manned the paint on both ends with 33 points, 14 rebounds, and his usual rock solid defense.
