After Action Report

The 76ers edged the Trail Blazers 123-116. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
