After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Knicks 99-98. 76ers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
