Sixers Bell Ringer: Maxey’s 4th quarter blitz not enough vs. Detroit

The Philadelphia 76ers fell to the Detroit Pistons 106-93 on October 25, 2026, hampered by a sluggish start and poor shooting. Philadelphia struggled from the charity stripe, converting only 14 of 23 free throws, while Detroit dominated from behind the arc with 14 made three-pointers compared to the Sixers' seven.

Tyrese Maxey provided a massive spark in the final period, scoring 18 of his 29 total points during the fourth quarter to keep the game competitive. Despite his late-game surge and defensive efforts, including a block on Jenkins, the deficit proved too large to overcome.

LeBron James contributed 18 points in the loss, though both he and Jaylen Brown struggled with their free throw shooting throughout the contest.
