After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Hawks 117-109. 76ers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
