After Action Report
The 76ers pulled away from the Hawks 97-85. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
