After Action Report

The 76ers squeaked past the Lakers 114-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
