After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Nets 125-98. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
