The Philadelphia 76ers secured a much-needed victory, defeating the Detroit Pistons 111-96 for just their fourth win of the season.

The Sixers started strong, surging to a 37-20 lead after the first quarter. Detroit battled back, cutting the deficit to just five points at halftime, but Philadelphia responded with a dominant 32-17 third quarter to regain control and cruise to the win.

Malik Beasley led the Pistons with 19 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Sixers’ strong start and decisive second-half surge.

The loss dropped Detroit to 9-13, as they struggled to maintain consistency on both ends of the floor.
