PHILADELPHIA -- Given the Pistons' history against this cagey Philadelphia 76ers team, taking them lightly was no longer an option.
After his team's 136-106 win over the 76ers on Saturday at Wells Fargo Center, Stan Van Gundy said matching their energy level and stopping the ball was a high priority.
They did both, snapping a stretch in which Detroit had lost five of its last six road games while setting a season-high mark for points in a game.
It also happened to be the most points scored by the Pistons in a non-overtime game since March 18, 2008.
