After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Hornets 109-99. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
