After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Clippers 126-125. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
