After Action Report
The 76ers survived the Pacers 96-93. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
