After Action Report

The 76ers snuck past the Kings 98-95. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
