After Action Report
The 76ers downed the Mavericks 97-78. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
