After Action Report
In Indiana, the 76ers survived the Pacers 99-95. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
