After Action Report
The 76ers took care of the Cavaliers 101-86. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
