After Action Report
The 76ers downed the Cavaliers 109-97. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the 76ers. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.

- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
