The Detroit Pistons played a deadly combination of sloppy, disinterested and lifeless basketball in a 123-111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in front of a mostly silent home crowd at Little Caesars Arena. The game was not even as close as the final score makes it seems.
James Harden had a triple-double within the opening minutes of the second half, slept walk his way through a few more minutes and didn’t touch the court in the fourth quarter. Missing Jalen Duren, the Pistons were unable to control the paint in any form or fashion.
