After Action Report

The 76ers edged the Hornets 122-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
