Detroit’s balanced attack saw seven players score in double figures, with Tobias Harris leading the way with 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals. The Pistons held the 76ers to 44% shooting from the floor, 28% from beyond the arc, and forced 15 turnovers. Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey finished with 23 points.
The win gave Detroit its first No. 1 seed since the 2006‑07 season and a 57‑21 record with four games remaining. With All‑Star Cade Cunningham sidelined by a collapsed lung, the Pistons are 8‑2 in his absence and will focus on the playoffs that begin April 18.
