Short-handed 76ers rally to beat Pistons
- Share via
AUBURN HILLS, MICH. — Donyell Marshall’s three-point shot with 35 seconds left gave the Philadelphia 76ers the lead for good in a 96-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
Philadelphia was missing scoring leader Elton Brand, who strained his hamstring Wednesday night in a loss to the Lakers.
The 76ers trailed by as many as 15 points, but pulled ahead, 82-81, on Marshall’s jumper with 2:50 left.
Rodney Stuckey’s 17-foot jumper restored Detroit’s one-point advantage, but Marshall answered with a three-pointer to make it 91-89 and Louis Williams made five free throws in the final minute to ice the win for the 76ers.
