After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Knicks 109-100. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
