After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Nets 94-90. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
