After Action Report

The 76ers rolled past the Lakers 122-91. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
