Sixers Take Down The Pistons 94-83
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ish Smith scored 15 points to pace a balanced offense, and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a four-game skid with a 94-83 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.
Jason Richardson added 14 points for Philadelphia, which won for just the second time in 10 games. The 76ers continued to have success against the Pistons, winning three of four meetings this season.
Philadelphia rookie big man Nerlens Noel left with 4 minutes, 27 seconds left in the third quarter with a right foot contusion and didn't return. Noel, who sat out all of last season with a left knee injury, finished with 11 points and four rebounds.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 20 points for the Pistons, who have lost 11 of 12.
