What happened

Philadelphia improved to 8-1 by beating Detroit 112-106 on Wednesday, taking revenge for its only loss and opening a road trip that continues Friday in Cleveland.

Jaylen Brown scored 30 points, LeBron James added 13 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists, and Joel Embiid finished with 26 points and 15 rebounds in the win.

LINEUP CONTEXT

The production suggests Philadelphia is leaning on multiple high-usage creators; if that balance holds, the rotation and closing possessions may stay crowded.
