After Action Report

The 76ers rolled past the Hawks 144-77. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
