After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers buried the Hornets 132-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
