Detroit handed Philadelphia its first loss of the season, winning 106-93 after building a 21-point lead. Tyrese Maxey’s game-high 29 points couldn’t erase the early deficit, while Cade Cunningham powered the Pistons with an all-around performance. The 76ers were also without Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe and Jabari Walker because of injuries.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Pistons 106, 76ers 93.
  • Detroit’s largest lead: 21 points.
  • Tyrese Maxey: 29 points.
  • Cade Cunningham: 26 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
Yes, But

Philadelphia mounted a push, but the hole created early proved too large to overcome. Injuries to Embiid, Edgecombe and Walker further limited the 76ers’ options.

Bottom Line

Maxey’s scoring kept Philadelphia in the fight, but a slow start and key absences ended the team’s unbeaten run.
