Pistons capture No. 1 seed with 116-93 win over 76ers

The Pistons outscored the 76ers 116‑93, with seven players scoring in double digits, to secure the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed and a 57‑21 record. Tobias Harris led Detroit with 19 points, four rebounds and four steals, while Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey poured in 23 points. Detroit held the 76ers to 44% shooting, 28% from beyond the arc, and forced 15 turnovers.

It’s Detroit’s first top seed since the 2006‑07 season, when they fell to LeBron James’ Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pistons now hold home‑court advantage through the playoffs, though star Cade Cunningham remains sidelined after a collapsed lung and has yet to return.
