After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Pacers 137-99. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
