From the book strength point of view, the two sides are not in the same weight class, the Pistons ranked first in the Bottom 1 in the East with 0 wins and 3 losses, and the 76ers, although 2 wins and 2 losses ranked ninth in the East, they were the first in the East in the regular season last season, and their strength was much higher than the Pistons. 76ers star Ben Simmons is now in a stiff fight with the team, temporarily unable to play for the team, the 76ers as long as they win the Pistons, can greatly improve the record ranking.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams came up in a bad offensive state, and there were successive misses and mistakes in shooting.

The Emperor began to threaten, he caused consecutive killings on the inside, personally slashed 4 points, Harris also scored 4 points, and the 76ers quickly took the lead. The Pistons didn't have much of an offensive approach, and had to score points from the inside, with Stewart and Grant scoring four points.

Grant scored two points for the team on a layup, but others didn't give him enough help, Curry Jr. made another three-pointer, Embiid also called the wind under the basket, and the 76ers continued to extend the lead.

In this game, the 76ers were missing Simmons and still got the win. The point is, Maxi stepped up and scored an all-around statistic of 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists to make up for Simmons' contribution. However, they were beaten by the Pistons in the fourth quarter to make a 16-1 wave and were almost reversed, which is still a bit Ofs-style. Then there's Danny Green scoring 0 points for the first shot again, which seems to have become his norm. Even so, the plus-minus of Green+19 is the highest in the whole game, which is also a strange data.
