After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Hornets 122-119. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
