After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Nets 98-97. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
