After Action Report
The 76ers buried the Hawks 136-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' balanced five covered every spot on the floor. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
