After Action Report
The Lakers survived the 76ers 98-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
