After Action Report

The 76ers stunned the Cavaliers 131-122 in overtime. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
