After Action Report

The 76ers demolished the Kings 96-76. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
