After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the 76ers 103-99. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
