After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers edged the Lakers 108-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
