The Detroit Pistons defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 113 - 96, on Monday at Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons (24 - 28) continued to play the good basketball they've been playing as of late, notching their third win in four games. And they did so with great team basketball, as all five of their starters managed to score in double figures in what was a dominant game for the home team. Andre Drummond was a monster down low, recording yet another double - double of 16 points and 17 rebounds, while Marcus Morris led the way scoring for Detroit, posting 19 points on 9 - of - 16 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds of his own. In the end, eight different Pistons players managed to score in double figures in what was a fairly effortless victory. On the other hand, after a hot start to the new year, the 76ers (18 - 33) are slowing down once again, as they have now lost six of their last seven games following Monday's result, and it appears as though the absence of Joel Embiid (knee) has finally caught up to them. His replacement, Jahlil Okafor, on a night where he was subject to trade rumors, led the way for Philly, scoring 16 points on 7 - of - 11 shooting in 26 minutes. He did, however, manage to grab just four rebounds. Dario Saric was solid off the bench, recording 13 points, six rebounds and four assists, but overall, it was a forgettable night for a 76ers team that shot a brutal 18 percent from behind the arc on 28 attempts. Up next, the Pistons will look to keep up their winning ways Wednesday against the Lakers, while the 76ers will have a matchup Wednesday with the Spurs.
