The Detroit Pistons defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 116-93, clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tobias Harris led the Pistons with 19 points, while Daniss Jenkins contributed significantly with 16 points and 14 assists.

This victory brings the Pistons’ season record to an impressive 56-21, marking a remarkable turnaround as they have won 12 of their last 15 games. Notably, they are 8-2 in the 10 games that star player Cade Cunningham has missed.

In the absence of Joel Embiid, who is sidelined with a right oblique injury, the 76ers struggled to keep pace. Tyrese Maxey was the standout for Philadelphia, scoring 23 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Pistons’ strong performance.

The game saw a competitive first half, with both teams exchanging leads, but the Pistons took control after halftime. This win also signifies the Pistons clinching their first Central Division title since the 2007-08 season.
