Joel Embiid puts on 30 points and Philadelphia wins 97-86 in Detroit. After counting 21 points behind, the Pistons returned late in the game, without succeeding in concluding their hold-up.
Philly starts strong with a 7-0 in 2 minutes, at which the Pistons respond with a 7-0 in two minutes. With that, the Sixers put a layer with an 8-0 but this time Detroit can not answer by a series. The visitors maintain a good lead with a Ben Simmons really impressive in his choice, his management of the ball, his selection of shots. An ultimate pass in the back for Embiid allows the pivot to score at 3-points just before the mermaid (31-22).
The second local unit is struggling to give a boost to the Pistons, unlike a Dario Saric boss out of the bench for Philadelphia, which puts his team to +15 (41-26). Joel Embiid returns to the floor and makes the show with a big dunk, before Jerryd Bayless puts two pearls from afar that hurt a lot in Detroit (51-30). But Langston Galloway imitates, then Reggie Jackson scores with the fault, and there is only 13 points of difference at the break: a small miracle (56-43).
Joel Embiid continues to inflate his stats but Philly is quickly watching his pivot play, like a Markelle Fultz still in trouble. The players of Motor City keep their pace and it is quite logical that the gap falls below 10 units (64-56). Ben Simmons comes to restore some order in his house but, in a match more and more chopped by the referees, Philly is struggling to regain his mind and has only 8 steps ahead at the beginning of the last straight line (75-67). Time passes and Detroit's last attempts do not fall into the circle. Philly stores a little confidence with this last quarter well controlled, before the Houston reception, unlike Pistons who will go to Minneapolis tomorrow.
