The Pistons defeated the Sixers in overtime by a final score of 133-132 to improve to 3-0 on the young season. After being fired by the Toronto Raptors, Detroit hired Casey and the Pistons players have really gravitated toward him.

Pistons All-Star power forward Blake Griffin, who scored a career-high 50 points versus the Sixers, has been quoted as saying Casey has brought new life to the franchise. Casey won Coach of the Year with the Raptors last season, but was let go after Toronto was swept in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
