After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Kings 102-80. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
