After Action Report
The 76ers shocked the Lakers 125-116. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
