After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers handled the Kings 109-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
