After Action Report

The 76ers squeaked past the Mavericks 108-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
