After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Hawks held off the 76ers 113-105. Every possession went the Hawks way. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
