After Action Report

The 76ers snuck past the Nets 117-112. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
