After Action Report

The 76ers held off the Nets 106-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
