Summary
- Sixers lose to Pistons despite Pistons resting key players
- Maxey scores 31 points but struggles with shooting
- Clippers look to bounce back after recent losses

On November 18th, 2025, the Philadelphia 76ers were hoping to build on their recent success, but instead, they suffered a surprising 114-105 defeat against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers were expected to have an easier time against the short-handed Pistons, who were resting their star player Cade Cunningham and other key players. However, the game proved to be a disappointment for the Sixers.
Tyrese Maxey led the way for the Sixers with 31 points, but he struggled with his shooting, making only 13 of his 31 attempts. VJ Edgecombe also had an off night, going 6 of 15 from the field. The Sixers' mental and physical toughness was called into question after the game, with Edgecombe acknowledging that they need to "play through" the physical nature of the games.
