After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Cavaliers 118-114 in overtime. Every possession went the 76ers way. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
