Pistons vs. Sixers final score: Detroit routs Philadelphia for first win of season

The Detroit Pistons were going to get their first win eventually, and it came on Wednesday night over the Philadelphia 76ers in convincing fashion, 94-76. Detroit was led by center Greg Monroe, who dominated Philadelphia's Andrew Bynum-less frontline to the tune of 19 points and 18 rebounds.

There were three other Pistons in double figures: Kyle Singler scored 16 points, while Brandon Knight and Tayshaun Prince each scored 15 points. Detroit shot 48% from the field and 21-31 from the free throw line -- and they also assisted on an astounding 27 of those 35 baskets.

But it was the defense that truly powered them on Wednesday night. Philadelphia shot just 30% as a team, with Jrue Holiday being the only Sixer starter in double-digits with 12 points. Those 12 points, though, came on 4-13 shooting, and Holiday was outplayed by Knight, who also finished with seven rebounds and seven assists. Detroit also crushed the Sixers on the glass, winning the rebounding battle 57-38.

The Pistons will look to make it two in a row on Friday night when they host the Orlando Magic.
