The Sixers suffered a disappointing 114-105 loss to the shorthanded Pistons despite a strong start, dropping to 7-5 as Detroit improved to 11-2. Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 31 points, while Kelly Oubre Jr. was sidelined with a knee injury, and Detroit, missing key players, staged a comeback after the Sixers briefly took a double-digit lead in the third quarter.
