Pistons Close Out Sixers (Erik Scheponik)

Detroit -5.5 over Philadelphia, Game 6

Before Philly outscored the Detroit backups in the 4th quarter of Game 5 blowout, Motown had outscored the 76ers 136-97 over the previous 5 quarters of play.  Philly simply can’t muster any offense in a half court set, and Detroit has shifted their focus to transition defense, neutralizing the fast break attack and finishing abilities of the Sixers.  Philly has also shot over their head at the FT stripe in this series, and if they revert to their league-worst 70% form from the regular season, Detroit can really pull away.  Pistons have awoken, and the better team finishes off this series tonight.  Detroit by 9
