BOSTON -- The Sixers have signed Casper Ware to a second 10-day deal, the team announced.

Ware has averaged 3.6 points, 1.2 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 14.2 minutes over five appearances for the Sixers, who signed him out of Italy’s first division late last month.

When asked Wednesday about his future with the Sixers, Ware sounded ambivalent. He said the idea of flying to his home country for his first chance at playing in the NBA was a lot to digest.

“You’ve got 10 days to come out here and show what you’ve got,” Ware said. “You just try to listen to what they say and take it all in. You have to do it right and the right way.”

The 5-10, 170-pounder’s latest contract will take him to April 12, four days and two games shy of the season finale at Miami. At that point, the Sixers could opt to let him go or sign him for the remainder of the season.

In the 76ers’ win Saturday, everything had to go right for them to break out of their two-month slump.

It wasn’t just a matter of making shots, which they did. Or the Detroit Pistons rolling over, which they did. Looking at the box score and speaking with players from both sides revealed just how imbalanced the game was, in the Sixers’ favor.

Granted, the Pistons were on tired legs after getting thrashed a night earlier by visiting Miami. But fatigue was not the sole reason behind the Sixers’ ability to snap a 26-game losing streak that matched the NBA record. Listless play from Detroit was another.

“There was no effort tonight, absolutely no effort,” Pistons big man Greg Monroe said.

“They wanted it more than we did,” added Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey.

When Sixers reserves Casper Ware and Elliot Williams are able to run a fastbreak alley-oop connection between one another, outrunning two Pistons in the process … yeah, that’s usually a solid indicator that the other team got outhustled and outworked. When Detroit’s second-leading scorer, Brandon Jennings, gets tossed in the first quarter with two technical for arguing a lack of foul calls … yep, another good indicator for the Sixers.

Here are a few numbers from the stat sheet, which went a long way toward assuring the Sixers of their first victory in two months:

• The Sixers scored 123 points. Their season average is 99.
• They held Detroit to 98 points. Their season average is a league-worst 110.
• They shot 52.2 percent. Their season average is 43.0 percent, second-worst in the league.
• They shot 57.1 percent from 3-point range. Their season average is a league-worst 31.0 percent.
• Reserve big man Jarvis Varnado established career-highs with 9 points and 6 blocked shots.

The Sixers played their best game in 60 days, yes. They caught a break with Jennings’ meltdown, for sure. And the Pistons’ lack of effort took care of the rest, helping the Sixers stave off infamy.

“It’s not something I want to be a part of, so it’s great we got this win,” Sixers rookie Michael Carter-Williams said.

The 76ers have signed Casper Ware to a 10-day deal, a league source said Monday.

Ware, a 5-10 point guard, has been playing internationally in Italy’s first and second divisions since going undrafted in 2012 out of Long Beach State.

To make room for Ware, the Sixers and Darius Johnson-Odom went their separate ways. The shooting guard was not re-signed beyond an initial 10-day contract, which expired Sunday.

Ware will become the 22^nd player to have appeared in a game this season for the Sixers (15-55), who continue their three-game roadtrip Monday at San Antonio. Ware will be in uniform and available against the Spurs, the source said.

Ware was averaging 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 22 games with Virtus Bologna of Serie A, Italy’s top-tier league. Last season, he was the MVP of Italy’s second-tier league while averaging 20.6 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds for Novipiu Casale Monferrato.

As for Johnson-Odom, his time had come and gone.

The Marquette product made three appearances and played a mere 15 minutes in the six games that coincided with his 10-day deal, and he failed to score in any of them. The shooting guard, who’s got seven NBA games under his belt, is 0-for-11 from the floor for a career average of 0.0 points per game as a pro.
