After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers edged the Nuggets 103-97. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
