After Action Report

The 76ers snuck past the Magic 122-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

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.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
