After Action Report

The 76ers handled the Nets 111-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
