After Action Report
The Hawks knocked off the 76ers 118-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
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.
