After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Pacers 120-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 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. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
