After Action Report

The 76ers fended off the Knicks 101-93. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
