The Pistons finished the game with a 57‑21 record, four games left, and a 4.5‑game lead over Boston. Seven Pistons scored in double figures, with Tobias Harris adding 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 steals. Philadelphia shot 44% from the floor, 28% from beyond the arc, and turned the ball over 15 times, while Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 23 points.
The win marks Detroit’s first No. 1 seed since the 2006‑07 season and guarantees home‑court advantage through the playoffs, though the return of injured All‑Star Cade Cunningham remains uncertain as he recovers from a collapsed lung.
