After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Heat 138-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
