NBA fans react to 76ers being first to lose to Pistons

A Wednesday night battle between the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons did not include two All-Stars from the home team as Joel Embiid and Paul George missed their fourth straight game as a duo.

With Tyrese Maxey at the head of the snake again, the Sixers needed him to mirror Sunday afternoon’s performance against the Indiana Pacers.

Maxey played his part, scoring 32 points and dishing out seven assists in 40 minutes of action,

However, the supporting cast struggled to overcome the struggles that Detroit brought.

Despite foul trouble from Detroit’s Jalen Duren, the Pistons got an outstanding performance from veteran Isaiah Stewart, who checked in for 35 minutes. During that time, Stewart accounted for 11 rebounds.

Philly’s old friend Tobias Harris accounted for a team-high 14 rebounds. The Pistons outrebounded the Sixers 49-37. While the 76ers turned the ball over less, Detroit’s struggles taking care of the ball didn’t hurt their momentum.

Throughout the game, the Pistons controlled the game. They had a lead as big as 21 points. Although Detroit has struggled to close out games late in the game recently, they didn’t let the Sixers ruin their night.

The Pistons left South Philly with a 105-95 victory. The Sixers became the first team to miss against Detroit, as they saw their record drop to 1-3.

The Pistons defeated the 76ers on Wednesday.

@harrymayesTU: Just forced myself to watch 5 minutes of the #Sixers game…some of the worst Pro ball I’ve seen…and I’ve seen a lot. I will be back in January.

@thecaitshot: sixes blown out of the pistons…..

@InsideHoops: The Pistons (0-4) have an 18-point lead on the Sixers heading into the fourth quarter.

@tailgatercap: Even if it’s Game 5 losing to the Pistons should be immediate cause for concern for the 76ers

@EliotShorrParks: This is such an embarrassing low for the Sixers
