After Action Report

The 76ers fended off the Pacers 120-113. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
