After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the 76ers pulled away from the Lakers 114-96. 76ers torched the Lakers on the offensive end. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
