Tyrese Maxey had an outstanding game, scoring 28 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 111-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons.

On the other side, Malik Beasley led the Pistons with 19 points, followed by Jaden Ivey with 15 points and Marcus Sasser with 12 points. Simone Fontecchio stood out with 11 rebounds for Detroit, being the only player on either team to reach double figures in assists or rebounds.
During the game, Andre Drummond had to leave in the first quarter due to a left ankle injury, while Paul George, who was initially listed as out with a left knee bone bruise, returned to action and scored 11 points. Unfortunately, Cade Cunningham was unable to play for the Pistons due to a sprained left sacroiliac joint.
The Sixers took control early in the game, starting with a 22-7 run to establish an 18-point lead in the first quarter. They maintained their momentum and headed into halftime with a 57-52 lead. Coming back from the break, the Philadelphia starters continued their dominance, going on a 27-10 run in the third quarter to extend their lead to 84-62.
Looking ahead, both teams are set to play their next games on Tuesday night. The Sixers will face the Charlotte Hornets on the road, while the Pistons will host the Milwaukee Bucks. It will be interesting to see if the 76ers can carry forward the winning momentum from this game and if the Pistons can bounce back from this defeat.
