After Action Report
In Portland, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 126-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- 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.
