After Action Report

The 76ers ran roughshod over the Suns 131-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
