Joel Embiid and JJ Reddick stole the show at Wells Fargo on Saturday (AEDT) finishing with 23 and 21 points respectively. JoJo tallied nine rebounds, shooting 9-of-16 from the field.
Ben Simmons came out storming for the Sixers scoring 11 points in the first seven minutes of play. The Aussie finished with 19 points, nine assists and four rebounds, shooting a dominant 9-of-13.
Tobias Harris' top score of 14 points highlighted the Pistons' poor shooting night, with the team from Motor City shooting just 38.0% from the field and 31.8% from outside the arc. Philly shone from the line Saturday shooting 92.3% from the stripe (12-13), whilst Detroit only managed 57.9% freethrow percentage (11-19).
The Pistons' lead the game after the first bucket was made (2-0), but would never regain the lead the entire contest.
The win pushes the Sixers' record to 19-19, whilst Detroit moves to 20-17 for the season.
