After Action Report
In Washington, the 76ers squeaked past the Wizards 98-97. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
