After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Bulls shocked the 76ers 112-100. The tempo dragged the 76ers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bulls' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. 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.
