After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Celtics 117-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
